Magic Me

The UK's leading provider of intergenerational arts activities Based in Tower Hamlets, east London since 1989, Magic Me's programme annually serves around 550 local people from diverse generations, cultures and ethnicities. We specialise in running creative arts projects which bring together young people (aged 9+) and older people (55+) for mutual benefit, learning and enjoyment. Participants are encouraged and supported to work together, so that real relationships can develop. The activities are designed to stimulate both age groups, fostering conversation and an exchange of ideas. "Magic Me is the best thing going on, because it is actually changing people's lives" - School pupil participant
